Two real findings from today's live self-hosting run, surfaced while diagnosing why bfd3ee82/71868db6 were blocked: 1. trigger_org_node/trigger_org_node_structured use a fixed wall-clock subprocess.run(timeout=...) -- a long-running-but-genuinely-progressing agent call gets killed just for taking longer than a guessed constant (300s), which is exactly what happened to bfd3ee82's Validator planning call. Per an already-established (but never actually implemented) decision: an agent call should never be judged "stuck" by total duration alone, only by an extended period with no activity AND no error. New requirements doc: docs/todo/agent-call-liveness-not-fixed-duration-timeout-requirements.md. 2. task_execution.py::_mark_blocked's catch-all dumps anything outside a small exception whitelist into blocked_reason='execution_error' -- including ConcurrencyLimitReachedError, which isn't an error at all, just normal backpressure. Boss Agent needs the system to emit distinct, meaningful reasons at the point of failure, not reverse-engineer root cause from a generic bucket -- added as FR-7 to the Boss Agent doc.
